Congratulations!! You did it!!
As we wrap a bow on our SSMT year and prepare for the upcoming Celebration, we want to send along our encouragement to you to continue in this great work. Some of you have already told us you are continuing to memorize on your own, or have even formed your own local teams. We couldn’t be happier to hear it!
Beth and LPM will plan to see you right back here next Jan 2017 to link arms together to hide God’s Word in our hearts. He is worthy!

Your comment made me think of my verse from last time: “As for Me, this is My covenant with them,” says the LORD. “My Spirit, Who is on you, and my words that I have put in your mouth will not depart from your mouth, or from the mouths of your children, or from the mouths of their descendants from this time on and forever,” says the LORD. –Isaiah 59:21 Isn’t that awesome?

“Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord.”
Psalms 31:24
I got your book Audacious for Christmas. On page 32 number2 you have marked out audacious contemptuous of laws, religion. I feel this needs to be left in, as there is a spirit of religion which keeps people bound to the practice of religion. While trying to follow someone’s rules they are held in bondage and don’t have the freedom of a personal relationship with The trine god. With being born again there is freedom of spirit to worship God without dictates. I am not being critical as I have done a lot of your studies and believe you are anointed by God for the task He has given you. Just food for thought.In the Love of God. Kay

For with God, nothing will be impossible.
This has been a journey for me. I have never completed a New Years Resolution, but with God, nothing is impossible. He sustained me and encouraged me to press on for the goal: hiding His word in my heart. I have had many moments were the verses were what I needed for those two weeks and verses from earlier months came right back to me in situations. God’s word does not go out void, and I am so thankful that 24 pieces are hidden in my heart and mind. I am pressing on to faithful recite all 24, but I am so thankful to the work that has already occurred in me this year. Thank you Beth and her team!
